Meet Guzheng Artist & Innovator Qing Du ​

Deeply rooted in tradition yet boldly innovative, Qing Du is a guzheng artist & innovator dedicated to exploring the full spectrum of her instrument’s voice—from its ancient heritage to its contemporary possibilities.

A respected authority with nearly 20 years of mastery and a role as an external examiner for the University of Cambridge, Qing has performed across international stages in the UK, Europe, China, and beyond.
​
Her journey—from a landmark residency as Guzheng Artist-in-Residence at the World Expo in Dubai to a groundbreaking collaboration with Gorillaz in London —reflects a core belief: honouring the instrument's 2,500-year history through constant reimagination. 
This philosophy unifies all her work. Through dynamic live experiences and creative collaborations, she builds bridges between the ancient and the modern. Through dedicated teaching and her carefully sourced instrument collection, she guides a global community in discovering their own artistic voice with the guzheng.
